Trump laid the foundation for Republicans in the next election... [View all]

...in his SOTU speech last night.

He wants all his supporters and all Republicans to know one thing: Democrats cannot win unless they cheat.

He wants to do away with mail-in voting and require an legitimate ID in order to vote. The purpose of this scam is to suppress and minimize the number of people that vote, thereby increasing Republicans chances of keeping the House and Senate. They are calling it the "SAVE' Act.

We will undoubtedly hear this "spiel" from every Republican from now until the election. How many people will buy into it?

But, this is the direction and the issue Republicans are running on. Democrats want to run on the economy. Which is the most powerful issue? The voters will decide.

Starting today, the right-wing propaganda machine will turn up the rhetoric and the division and the racism, in hopes of maintaining power.

Will it work?

If the election is very close, but Democrats win a small majority, will JD Vance certify the election? What happens if he does not?

Are those legitimate questions?
